Gap of Undiagnosed TB Cases Narrows as Global Response Rebounds from COVID 24/03/2023 Elaine Ruth Fletcher After major setbacks during the pandemic, TB diagnosis and treatment appears to have rebounded with the number of undiagnosed TB-infections estimated at less than three million people in 2022- the lowest ever. That’s according to preliminary data released by the Stop TB Partnership, on Friday, World TB Day. “In 2022 the gap between the estimated […] Continue reading -> Ethical Questions to Settle Ahead of ‘Genetic Revolution’ 16/03/2023 Tal Patalon A genetic revolution is coming. It’s time the medical community and policymakers discuss it. As technology advances and the price for genetic testing decreases, it is likely that within the next five years, DNA sequence information will be part of a patient’s medical records. Such a move would revolutionize the way doctors diagnose and treat […] Continue reading -> New WHO Foundation Equity Fund Eyes AI-based Technology to Help Stroke Patients 07/03/2023 Maayan Hoffman A company that is using AI-powered technologies to help rehabilitate people with severe brain injuries, including those caused by strokes, has caught the eye of the World Health Organization (WHO) Foundation.
